[There is an Eevee being put onto your head, Takeru.]

'Sup.

[tonope]

[why is there an eevee being put on his head. jumping a bit before he reaches his hands up to keep it steady]

Ah, Lea. Hey.

[prominence_glow]

Hey there.

[Oh ok he has that covered, Lea will just sit next to him, 'kay? 'Kay.]

You seem a little down, man.

[tonope]

[pulling the eevee down to curl up in his lap, he pets it as he watches Lea take a seat]

I'm fine.

[lies!!!]

[prominence_glow]

[Arden will just cuddle right up to those fingers, bro.]

Which is why you're eating ice cream in a diner at two in the morning. I have absolutely no reason to doubt you.

So if you're fine, I'm guessing it's okay if I sit a while too?

[tonope]

[suuulllkkksss]

It's fine. What are you doing up at this hour anyway?

[prominence_glow]

I'm working on something. A really big something. I'm gonna open a restaurant soon. I mean, more like a bakery? Cafe? I dunno. Maybe a little of everything.

[tonope]

[nodding and listening but--]

That doesn't explain why 2 AM though.

[prominence_glow]

I'm just- excited! I can't keep my hands off of it! I want it to be done as soon as possible.

I've never really thought about what I wanna do with my life before coming to Vatheon. Or the stuff I did think of was stupid. But I'm startin' to really think of things now! And there's just so much!

[tonope]

[a surprised look]

That's a lot to discover in a place like this.

[prominence_glow]

Yeah...

[Propping his elbows on the counter, he puts his face in his hands.]

Y'know, I miss my mom and dad and the rest of my family, and the Garden in general, but Vatheon's taught me a lot. It's givin' me a chance I wouldn't have gotten back there. Sure, people leave and stuff and get hurt and all that, but... that's life anyway, right?

[tonope]

No it isn't. To be deluded into thinking this here is life is the sad part.

[shaking his head]

You still have a life to lead back home and responsibilities to fulfill, to abandon them for a life here because it's easier? I don't think that's very noble.

[prominence_glow]

[Long stare.

Very very long stare. Not a bad one! A thoughtful one. Lea is trying to think of a way to phrase this.]

...Let's say, right now, or tomorrow morning, I finally go back home. I already know what's going to happen in the time I return to.

The king of my world has six apprentices. They're gonna turn on him. Secret experiments are gonna be done on human subjects until monsters called Heartless end up overrunning my world and destroying it. On that day, I won't have a clue what's happenin'. I'll just be wearing my hands bloody trying to get into that stupid castle because my best friend- here, one of the people I'm in love with- will be in there and I won't know what's happening to him

[tonope]

[STABBED RIGHT IN THE DISNEY]

That's terrible.

[yeah he doesn't know what else to say]

[prominence_glow]

[Watch out, Takeru! That shit is contagious.]

Yeah... So I'm not really eager to head on home anytime soon. At least not until I can work around the whole memory problem.

Besides, I know it sucks here a lot of the time, but there are good things. Good people.

[tonope]

I have a team back home I need to lead though. There could be plenty of good people here but I still need to return home as soon as possible. Me and my other comrade they dragged here.
